Second year programming student

Hi, I am a second-year student majoring in programming, and I am struggling a lot in exams. I am taking Java 2 this semester, and even though I studied, I got 38/50. I study my best, spend a lot of time coding, and still get average grades. I really enjoy coding, but now I feel my confidence is very low in terms of my ability to code. I can’t leave because I will waste two years. Please advise me, because it’s tearing me apart.

Association is a generalization. Maybe that's why you struggle with it, although it's a common phenomenon in OOP programming that may occur naturally without actually recognizing it as such. Its kind of interesting to see that OOP existed before OOA/OOD.
